At the moment it seems most likely Alonso will be driving either a Renault - where he won both his world championships - or a Red Bull car.

Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton

Alonso finished this season on 109 points, one behind champion Kimi Raikkonen and level with team-mate Hamilton.

For parts of the season there were reports that Alonso and Hamilton really weren't getting on, as Alonso felt his team-mate was getting more help than he was.

Now Alonso has said: "I know there have been suggestions of favouritism within the team and people say a lot of things in the heat of battle, but in the end I was always provided with an equal opportunity to win."
